partment of Stanford univer
sity. Dr. Roper, who has partic
ipated in Ashland Festival
presentations for the past six
seasons and is now directing
"Romeo and Juliet," spoke at
a luncheon meeting at the
Rogue Valley Country club.
"Romeo and Juliet," he
said, might be considered a
haphazard kind of play, yet
it has caught the simple qual
ities of power and love. Its
portrayal of ordinary ' emo
tions has endeared it to
centuries.
"Love's Labour's Lost," on
the other hand, according to
Dr. Loper, is one of the
Bard's first plays with an ob
scure plot that satirizes the
people of the English court in
his day. The manner in which
it probes human folly has
great appeal to the ordinary
man and becomes a plea for
being natural.
"The Merry Wives of Wind
sor" is a farce on marriage
with the delightful rascal,
Falstaff, endearing himself to
Shakespeare admirers. Al
though based upon a standard
plot it has wonderful senti
mental qualities with univer
sal appeal, Dr. Roper pointed
out.
"Henry V," the final play
in the Ashland Festival se
ries, tells a story of the pa
triotic fervor of a human
young leader and his soldiers
as they courageously face the
enemy while fighting for a
common cause.

Death; Children
Fed Worm Pellets
Seattle-IUPIl-The wife of a
former missionarly fed her
five children worm pellets
and aspirin because she want
ed to kill herself and didn't
want the youngsters to suf
fer.
"I'd rather see their souls
saved," she told Detective AI
Fawcett. "This is a spirtual
matter."
The woman, Mrs. Helen
Marie Larson, 32, said she
told the children, they were
taking vitamins when she
gave them numerous aspirin
and worm medicine in soft
drinks. She also took aspirin
and pellets herself.
The children range in age
from 11 to 3.
She and the children were
found by her husband, How
ard, 38, a window ' washer
and a former missionary in
Japan, when he returned
home from work.
In Serious Condition
All were taken to King
County Hospital where two
of the youngsters, aged II
and 8, were in serious condi
tion. The others were report
ed in satisfactory condition.
Last January, Mrs. Larson
attempted suicide by swallow,
ing a liquid deodorizer and
aspirin, according to police
records. She committed her
self to Western Slate Hospital
for the mentally ill shortly
after that episode and she
spent three months there.
Larson told Fawcett he and
his wife spent 10 years :n
Japan doing missionary work
but were compelled to return
to this country when Mrs.
Larson suffered a nervous
breakdown.
Police estimated Mrs. Lar
son and the children consum
ed about 130 aspirin among
them.

'Floating Armories' Stationed
At Strategic Spots in Far East
Washington (UPD The Unit
ed States now has three "float
ing armories" stationed in the
Far East, loaded with all
kinds of equipment from
tanks to battle rations and
ready to move quickly to
Asian crisis points.
Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara reveald to Con
gress that the "floating depot"
plan had gone into operation
with "several ships converted
for this purpose on station in
the Far East."
The "pie-positioning" of
combat stocks overseas is a
tactic of the McNamara re
gime for insuring that Army
forces can react swiftly wher
ever Red threats develop.
With the bulk of their
equipment already deployed,
troops can be rushed by jet
airlift from the United States
in a matter of hours.
Subic Bay Anchorage
United Press International
reported Feb. 18 that the U.S.
Navy big Subic Bay base in
the Philippines had been
chosen as anchorage for three
mortified victory ships that
would serve as floating Army
depots. The ships then named
were the U. S. Navy ship
Phoenix, USNS Provo and
USNS Cheyenne.
Referring to "severa 1"
ships in testimony to a House
armed service subcommittee
studying military airlifts,
McNamara said:
"These ships are tempera
ture and humidity controlled
and will be able to move
quickly to any part of the Far
East-in a matter of just a few
days. The troops can be air
lifted to join them well with
in the time the ships require
to gel to their destinations."
Exercises Discussed
It was learned that the
Pentagon is discussing plans
for trans-Pacific training ex
ercises in which large num
bers of troops would be flown
in jet transports to join up
with the "pre - positioned"
combat stocks in a test of
the floating depot scheme.
A' force as large as a divi-
sion-about 15,000 men-might
be moved, but no decision has
been made. Any such exercise
likely would come later than
the division-sized jet airlift
now being planned to Europe,
possibly this year.
In the European case, a di

Slates over a three or four-
day period would link up with
heavy equipment that has
been "pre-positioned" on t h e
continent since the Berlin
crisis build-up in late 1961.
Stockpile in Europe
There is a 150,000-ton'stock-pile
in Europe, enough for two
divisions rushed in to rein
force units already there.
The floating depots in the
Far East carry material for
several battalions, a much
smaller supply adjusted to
Asian combat conditions.
It is estimated that stocking
material in the Orient can
save 45 to 60 days in loading
and transit time.
McNamara regards the tech
nique as a compromise be
tween keeping large forces
deployed at potential trouble
spots and holding those forces
in a central reserve at home.
